Selfish Response to Epidemic Propagation

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Georgios Theodorakopoulos

An epidemic spreading in a network calls for a decision on the part of the network members: They should decide whether to protect themselves or not. Their decision depends on the trade-off between their perceived risk of being infected and the cost of bein ...

Low temperature resistivity, thermoelectricity, and power factor of Nb doped anatase TiO2

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Richard Gaal, Jacim Jacimovic

The resistivity of a very high quality anatase TiO2 doped with 6% of Nb was measured from 300K down to 40 mK. No sign of superconductivity was detected. Instead, a minute quantity of cation vacancies resulted in a Kondo scattering. Measurements of thermo-e ...

Microstructure and thermoelectric properties of bulk and porous n-type silicon-germanium alloy prepared by HUP

Cyril Cayron

The optimization of powders preparation and consolidation process leads to the achievement of a high thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT=1.25 at 800°C) in an n-type silicon-germanium (SiGe) alloy hot pressed at low heating rate. It has been experimentally o ...

First principles calculations are used to investigate electronic band structure and vibrational spectra of pnictogen-substituted ternary skutterudites. We compare the results with the prototypical binary composition CoSb3 to identify the effects of substit ...

Performance improvement of a micro thermomechanical generator by incorporating Galinstan (R) micro droplet arrays

In previous research we have demonstrated a micro thermomechanical pyroelectric generator (mu TMPG) as an alternative to thermoelectric generators to harvest ambient heat energy. In such a device, a thermal mass oscillates between a hot and a cold side by ...

Thermodynamics and linear response of a Bose-Einstein condensate of microcavity polaritons

Vincenzo Savona, Davide Sarchi

In this work we derive a theory of polariton condensation based on the theory of interacting Bose particles. In particular, we describe self-consistently the linear exciton-photon coupling and the exciton-nonlinearities, by generalizing the Hartree-Fock-Po ...

Characterization of Ge-based clathrates oxidized in air by means of TEM and SEM

Cécile Hébert, Marco Cantoni, Barbora Bártová

Germanium based clathrate-I compounds are considered for their potential applications due to possible thermoelectric and optoelectronic properties. Clathrate compounds may be an alternative to well known thermoelectric materials at higher temperature. In t ...

Spectrum and thermal fluctuations of a microcavity polariton Bose-Einstein condensate

Vincenzo Savona, Davide Sarchi

The Hartree-Fock-Popov theory of interacting Bose particles is developed, for modeling exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavities undergoing Bose-Einstein condensation. A self-consistent treatment of the linear exciton-photon coupling and of the exc ...

Towards thermal equilibrium in the Bose-Einstein condensation of microcavity polaritons

Vincenzo Savona, Davide Sarchi

By comparing a kinetic and a thermal-equilibrium theory of polariton Bose-Einstein condensation, we study under what conditions the dynamical condensation under steady-state non-resonant pumping can approach thermal equilibrium. In particular, we study the ...
